About the Wine

Je Suis au Jardin is a wonderful example of what happens when aromatic Muscat is treated with care and a light touch. The 2023 iteration of this cuvée is a departure from previous vintages and is given three weeks of infusion-style maceration. The wine exudes texture and complexity due to the slight maceration, led by full floral aromatics yet wonderfully balanced by its bright acidity.

The wine is super expressive aromatically with notes of tangerine and white flowers. On the palate the floral notes sit beside bright citrus fruits and spice with a lively acidity and well-integrated herbal bitterness, ensuring the wine drinks with complete ease.

About Christophe Lindenlaub

The Lindenlaub family has a long history in the town of Dorlisheim, having made wine in the region for over 200 years. Today the work is led by Christophe, who has forged a new path for the domaine with the goal to produce high quality wines which truly reflect the land from which they come.

The vineyards consist mainly of clay and limestone soil, some with a sandstone sub-layer, with vines mostly aged between 30 and 60 years. With the aim to work with the utmost respect to nature, Christophe embraced organic farming in 2009 and achieved certification in 2012. Beyond growing healthy organic grapes, Christophe moved away from any chemical interventions in the cellar and is now producing some of the most standout zero-addition wines in the region. For the most part, Christophe uses stainless steel for élevage in order to further define the freshness and precision in the wines. The wines are lively, pure and brimming with energy. They have their own unique character, with Christophe’s trademark zing of acidity and backbone of saline minerality.
